Enoch Pratt Free Library volunteers are an integral part of the Library’s operation. Over 350 active volunteers help us carry out our mission to support, empower, and enrich our customers in the Central Library departments as well as the neighborhood branches. The Volunteer Services Office will strive to match your skills and interests to projects which suit your schedule, and assignments may be short-term or long-term.

Volunteer Benefits & Qualifications

By joining a community of passionate Pratt Library volunteers, you can serve your community by maintaining the Pratt Library collections and information resources. Volunteers also help to promote education and enrichment to the citizens of Baltimore.

Volunteers need to have an appreciation for books, the Library, and the many different Baltimore neighborhoods we serve, and a willingness to plan and maintain a schedule with your supervisor. Participation in the Volunteer Program is contingent upon the availability of volunteer positions. A successful background check result is mandatory.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old. For teen volunteers, please see the Enoch Pratt Youth Council (EPYC).
